OXFORD University staff will join a national strike over pensions next month.
The University and College Union is warning the university could face 'widespread disruption' after its members backed the industrial action.
Overall, 88 per cent of UCU members voted to strike with 93 per cent backing action short of a strike on a turnout of 58 per cent.
Some 85.6 per cent of Oxford UCU members supported the plans to strike.
UCU said the first strikes would most likely start with a two-day walkout on February 22 and 23.
The action could then escalate to three-day, four-day and five-day walkouts in future weeks.
Universities UK want to make changes which would see pension income subject to changes in the stock market.
